I only buy from a local nursery that has very healthy, good size plants. Although I did find my Kimberly fern at Lowes! Most of these plants are pretty mature and very healthy. I use a good potting soil mix and I water probably weekly with Miracle Grow. Mine are looking great except one mixed pot and I&#39;m thinking it is because of our strange weather this year. We are already in the 90s - very unusual for June.

I love selecting a variety of plants, and always include an asparagus fern and some sort of coleus, plus flowering plants. This year I chose fuschia and two beautiful double impatiens.<br /><br />I like your idea of dividing the plants. Very smart! Nice combination of tall and trailing plants too.<br />ClaudiaMy Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859743855906273917.post-86416762296824974982015-06-15T06:09:20.931-06:002015-06-15T06:09:20.931-06:00I love the addition of the ferns!
